New Promo Offer - Expedited Lite
Summary: lotzofuniquegoodies shared a promotional offer from eBay Canada providing a $3 discount on up to three Canada Post Expedited Lite labels for orders up to $75. teenytrinkets raised a question about the eligibility for the first three sales using Expedited Lite, which devon@ebay clarified, explaining it's valid for any order up to $75. regs43 noted they did not receive an email but successfully used the promo. There was further discussion about how the $75 cap affects the promotion and potential motivations for eBay's tracking promotion. Some participants expressed concern about tax calculations and the lack of proper receipts for business use.
Just received this in my gmail. No signs of it anywhere else.
Limited time promo: Save $3 on three Expedited Lite labels
Hi lotzofuniquegoodies,
For a very limited time, eBay Canada is pleased to offer Canadian sellers $3 off the base rate for up to three labels on orders up to $75 printed using Canada Post Expedited Lite - our low-cost, tracked service for small, lightweight items.
This promotion will run until Sunday, February 4 at 11:59pm ET.
- Toronto to Toronto - $5.05 $2.05
- Toronto to Montreal - $5.70 $2.70
- Toronto to Halifax - $5.87 $2.87
- Toronto to Vancouver - $5.94 $2.94
- Toronto to Yellowknife - $5.99 $2.99
*These are base rates after the promotion is applied. Fuel surcharges and taxes are calculated based on full base rates.
This promotion is available for your first three sales up to $75 CAD each (after tax and any shipping charges) that meet the eligibility criteria for Canada Post Expedited Lite.
To access this promotion, simply purchase a label using the Expedited Lite service through eBay Labels and ship your item. Once your shipment is successfully received and scanned by Canada Post, you will automatically receive a $3 credit to your account from eBay within 2-3 business days.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at ebaylabels@ebay.ca.
Appears to be automatic as soon as you go to use so should not need to be accepted to be accessable. Anyone else see or was able to use please pass on your observations. Thanks and good luck.

·2 years agoAny idea about how the $75 sales total works? I also have had 2/3 I qualified for. Sale number one was $20, sale number two was $40, so does that mean I would only qualify for the third on $15 order? what if sale is higher is it then partial? Guess I have to wait and see (and hope I sell somethinge else that qualifies for Lite shipping too!) Anyone else get the three and did orders go over $75?

·2 years agoI had an order for $85 and I didnt ge tthe discount. or I would have had 3/3 used
The $75 thing is for the order total for that label to my understanding.
My thoughs on this promo is they wanted to test to see if people would pay for tracked shipping on orders under $75 as i bet thats the threshold for a lot of people in Canada to use tracking vs lettermail.
I don't charge anywhere close to $5.00 for shipping for most orders unless someones buying 20 cards, so to upgrade to tracking its not woprth it even with a $3.00 discount to bring the price closer to $5.00

·2 years agoI bet you're right, it's a test to get new users to try! I just had my third, it was only $30 but if they are adding the three together will be over $75. I've used it several times myself since it started and think it has helped.

·2 years agoOh I have for sure used it, but Its just replaced me using Registered lettermail (which I was using discounted stamps to get to a similar price point). I havent increased or decreased my threshold in a while.
I still really dislike that we do not have PROPER recipts for this service as I am a registered bussiness and I know there is tax being paid on the Canadian labels. Having to do calculations to get the tax out of the cost is annoying, and is a reason I don't use it more, plus Canadians are less obsessed about tracking LOL

·2 years agoI didn't get an email about it. I rarely use Tracking in Canada so maybe i didnt qualify lol

OP2 years agoIt does show on the announcement page. It gets applied if/when you use and shows up as a credit in approx. 1 week.Just as a reminder today is the last day to use your 3 3.00 discounts on expedited lite. Good luck to anyone that can use. So far personally batting 0.00 on the promo!! No early retirement for me!!😔

·2 years agoThis is a nice little promo!
Question though: available only for first 3 sales OR first 3 sales where expedited lite is actually used?
I have small, low value sales that I send oversize letter - and will save the expedited lite for my higher value items. Can we can just choose any of our sales to use these labels, or does it have to be the "first 3 sales" we get?

·2 years agoGood question! I would like to know the answer too. The $3 credit is coming from eBay, not CP, so it could very well be the FIRST 3 sales. Use it or lose it I guess.
